London, Dec. 9 : Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that foreign experts will analyse the black box of the Russian jet downed by Turkey and instructed defence minister Sergei Shoigu not to open the flight recorder without experts.

According to The Guardian, at a meeting where the defence minister received the black box, Putin told Shoigu to open the box carefully and determine everything.

Moscow and Ankara are at loggerheads over the 24 November downing of a Russian jet on Turkey’s border with Syria, sparking fury and economic sanctions from the Kremlin.

Putin said an analysis of the black box would help determine the downed jet’s flight path and position, which Ankara and Moscow have furiously disagreed upon. (ANI)
